Turo partners with Toronto Pearson to expand transportation options

Turo, a peer-to-peer car sharing service, has partnered with Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to provide exchange locations for Turo guests to quickly check-in and pick up their booked vehicle upon arrival.

Guests will now locate their vehicle booked on Turo in the designated airport parking area and remote check-in to their reservation within minutes of arriving at YYZ.

This collaboration marks a “milestone” for the peer-to-peer car sharing industry, Turo said in a press release Wednesday (Sept. 20), as it will provide travellers with more convenience and more choice – all the while giving Torontonians the opportunity to turn their vehicle into an earnings engine.

It adds to Turo's existing portfolio of airport partners across Canada.

"At Toronto Pearson our focus is on the passenger experience which includes providing transportation choice," said Khalil Lamrabet, chief commercial officer of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, in a press release. "We are delighted to be partnering with Turo as another way to make travel that much more seamless and convenient."

Local Turo hosts can now park their vehicles in the Terminal 1 or 3 parking garages or the Value Park Lot for guests to locate their booked vehicle.

Turo already offers the ability to request vehicle delivery to your front door, popular points of interest, and now, right at Toronto Pearson.

Guests can also choose from thousands of vehicle types and even add on extras like child car seats, bike racks and camping gear.
